"I find Zoho Assist to be the right tool for remote support"
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

Zoho assist works great for one-off support and also for unattended remote access.

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

I would like the software to ask the user if they want to keep it, so the next time they don't have to download and install again.

What problems is Zoho Assist solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Zoho assist to connect to remote users and help them with our software. We use it mostly for support, but sometimes also for training. We use it with assistance (to connect to a user's computer), or unassisted (to connect to client's servers).

"Zoho is great for the money"
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

It does everything Teamviewer did but within a browser and for one tenth the price

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

I wish it was easier to set up unattended access and using it from an ipad; it would also be great if some sort of app auto-opened when the client clicked on the link from the email for those who are confused by finding their downloaded files

What problems is Zoho Assist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to assist any client as long as they can open the email

"Best features, Easy to Use"
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

It's not about having all the features but to collect the most useful features and tools in a simple and handy dashboard. The best part is the fair and reasonable pricing for all of these services.

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

wanted to say the ability to record all the devices full time and being able to go back and see the recordings if needed but honestly, with all these features you don't need that

What problems is Zoho Assist solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are going to use Zoho assist for managing some part of our internal security, organizing devices and making mass changes. also, we use it for b2b assistance as well.

"Excellent connectivity"
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

I started out using the free version and liked it so much upgraded to paid plan. My clients find the email link to join very easy to use and also the join.zoho.com with session ID. It doesn't time out very tech friendly

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

Nothing. Very easy to log in and send session id to client

What problems is Zoho Assist solving and how is that benefiting you?

"Zoho Assist - one of the best remote support solutions"
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

- Ease of use - several ways to make a connection - web address, email link or embed on a website. It's important that remote sessions are as simple as possible for the end user to setup. - Always seems to work; never had a problem getting through a firewall to make the connection. - Can run as a service and supports admin level commands - Ability to configure unattended remote session for out of hours work.

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

Some limitations on branding when embedding on a web page. Nothing really missing in terms of functionality.

What problems is Zoho Assist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Zoho Assist is used for in-house and client support. It allows most issues to be resolved off-site saving on travel and technician time. We wouldn't be able to support clients in remote areas without tools like this. Zoho Assist also facilitates homeworking as we can still provide tech support for staff working from home or co-working spaces.

"Very good alternative for Teamviewer"
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

I don't have to think about mismatching versions like with Teamviewer. It's cross platform, quick and stable.

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

The emails sent to clients can look more trustworthy and the application / emails can be in more languages.

What problems is Zoho Assist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I need to do remote controlling a lot for my web design agency. Zoho easily solves this problems since I can take over my clients screen my simply sending them a link in the email. Clients fully understand the process.

"Reliable & Productive Application"
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

Great value for money to remotely assist our computers which are leased or owned by org. Unattended access is great time-saver and works reliably even when changing users and rebooting. Includes easy connection options via web browser.

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

Reboot and reconnect isn't always reliable when shared via link but reliability has improved recently (unattended access reboot work fine). Users with repeat sessions often re-download the local app rather than the app running automatically. Desktop technician app does not appear on desktop (e.g. alt-tab) and can't pin to taskbar. When providing support to particular user, every time needs to generate new code.

What problems is Zoho Assist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our computers are in different locations, up to 1000 km away, so remote access for technical support is vital. Zoho Assist enables me to setup new PCs, troubleshoot and reconfigure remotely. Unattended access has simplified access and support.

"An often complicated process designed with simplicity in mind."
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

Extremely easy to deploy company wide. Even for those that are fairly computer illiterate, all I need to do is simply send a link to their email. From there, they easily follow the instructions provided, and I am able to quickly connect and offer support. Unlike another very popular application I used to use, I have never had a client not be able to figure it out. So offering remote technical support has become a much better experience for the client (and for me!). Finally, the pricing is very reasonable for the features.

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

Would like it if they would make it possible to transfer more than just one file at a time with the file transfer tool. Sometimes we need to transfer several files and choosing just one at a time can make it cumbersome and time consuming.

What problems is Zoho Assist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use it to provide computer and training support for company's employees (and every once in a while, I use it to help out a friend whose machine has been compromised or social media account has been hacked. lol).

"Does exactly what I need"
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

This software has basically all the features of GotoAssist for half the price for MORE users! It does everything I need it to do with unattended and regular support sessions

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

This remote interface is not as snappy as teamviewer or GotoAssist, but works just fine. I also cannot pin the UI to the taskbar and it doesn't use a standard windows interface. These are minor, as it works as I need it

What problems is Zoho Assist solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able with Zoho to support my unattended locations as I need to and provide on the fly support for any old person who calls. This is all part time, so doing this for a lower cost helps keep me in the black

"Value for useful and reliable product"
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

Great value for money to remotely assist and ad-hoc access to our in-house and BYOD computers. We're also now using unattended access which has been a great time-saver and works reliably even when changing users and rebooting. Includes easy connection options via web browser.

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

Reboot and reconnect isn't always reliable when shared via link but reliability has improved recently (unattended access reboot work fine).

"Great alternative to Teamviewer, GoTo Assist, etc"
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

Zoho Assist has many of the same great features you'd find in products like Teamviewer, but substantially cheaper. The unattended remote access deployment is light years easier than Teamviewer (and you don't have to buy the most expensive license to do it either). The mobile app works great, multiple monitor support, sending files, so far it has all worked flawlessly.

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

I can't really think of anything I don't like, even the tech support has been good thus far.

What problems is Zoho Assist solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to remote in to staff computers makes updating and support so much easier. I also love being able to quickly address things like "My email doesn't work" from my desk while working on other tasks.

"Easy Switch"
What do you like best about Zoho Assist?

We switched from ISL Online to Zoho Assist.. The easiest transition we have ever done! Our engineers love it! Very simple to use even before we have completed the online training.

What do you dislike about Zoho Assist?

We have had no issues with the software at all. When signing technicians up, there was an issue with .com and .eu addresses but that was sorted quickly by Puneesh on the support team.

What problems is Zoho Assist solving and how is that benefiting you?

We remote onto servers to check on call reporting, voice recording software and other CTI applications relating to business telecommunications
